She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am Adora,
He-Man's twin sister
and defender
of the Crystal Castle.
This is Spirit,
my beloved steed.
Fabulous secrets
were revealed to me
the day I held aloft my sword
and said
"For the honor of Grayskull!"
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Only a few others
share this secret.
Among them are Light Hope,
Madame Razz, and Kowl.
Together, we and my friends
of the Great Rebellion
strive to free Etheria
from the evil forces of Hordak.

She-Ra ♪
Why so glum, Arden?
It'll take forever to gather up
all the firewood this way.
It'd be a lot easier
if we used magic.
True, but easier
isn't always better.
Oh, Norwin,
you're too old-fashioned.
Well, maybe so.
But as your teacher,
I am supposed to teach you
more than magic.
Now, I'm going inside.
When you finish
piling up the firewood,
we'll go into the village
and maybe stop at the inn
for something to eat.
Maybe he won't notice
a little spell.
Forces of forest,
hill and tree,
gather up this wood for me.
Wow!
This'll give us enough wood
to last the entire winter.
All right, Arden, are you ready?
You used your magic,
didn't you?
Ooh, I guess you noticed, eh?
We'll discuss this further when
we come back from the village.
Now come along.
This is not my day.
Innkeeper
We're here to pick up
the supplies we ordered.
But you haven't paid me for
the last supplies I gave you.
Then perhaps you'd care
to discuss your payment
with Shadow Weaver.
Shadow Weaver?
No, never mind.
I'll get the supplies for you.
You can load them up out back.
Shadow Weaver
I've heard of her.
She's supposed to have
some of the strongest magic
in all Etheria.
Was she always that powerful?
No, she was a
passable sorceress.
But then, one night,
all that changed.
You mean she became
that powerful in one night?
How?
It's a long, sad story, Arden.
And I'll tell it to you someday
when you're old enough
to understand.
I understand this may be
just the chance
I've been looking for.
That's the last of it.
Let's go.
This is my chance.
Do I take it or not?
Norwin's a good teacher,
but so old-fashioned.
He does everything
the hard way, the slow way.
And Shadow Weaver got
all her power in one night.
That's the way for me.
Here goes.
Arden?
Arden, where are you?
Are you sure you know
what you're doing?
Oh, they're safe enough,
If the robot's turned off
and you know what you're doing.
So I hope I can find a way
to make these things
attack Hordak instead of us.
Well, as long
as it's turned off,
I guess it's safe.
So what's this thing
over here do?
Broom, no!
Ooh, so much for the experiment.
Eh, sorry about that, Adora.
I think it's trying
to get our attention.
Now what?
Madame Razz, I have
sent this winged messenger
to find you because I am
in great need of your help.
Why, it's Norwin.
If you can, come to the village
of Allwyn quickly,
as fast as you can.
You're needed.
Oh, dearie, my.
You know,
Norwin is a good friend.
If he's in trouble,
I have to go to him.
Then She-Ra will go with you.
Come on, Spirit.
We've got some flying to do.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
Next stop, Horror Hall.
So this is Horror Hall.
Now to find Shadow Weaver.
You there!
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Who are you?
What do you want here?
II am a sorcerer's apprentice.
A sorcerer's apprentice, eh?
And who is your teacher, hmm?
His name is Norwin.
We were
Norwin?
Then you heard of him?
Oh, yes.
I knew him very well
a long time ago.
As for you, wait outside
while I make my decision.
My oldest enemy.
For years,
I've searched for him.
Norwin took from me
the greatness
that should have been mine.
And now I intend
to make him pay.
I summon forth
the Dark Riders.
But why send the Dark Riders?
Won't Norwin come to us
now that we have the boy?
Because I do not wish
to wait that long.
Now fly!
Fly!
Well, the village should be
right below us now.
And we've got trouble
right in front of us.
Oh, dearie, my.
Oh, no.
No spell can work
against the Dark Riders.
They're too powerful.
We'll head down fast
and turn
at the last possible second.
It'll never make
the turn in time.
I don't know
if I can make the turn.
I hadn't thought of that.
We did it!
Yeah, that's one down,
and one to go.
We've got just one chance,
Swifty,
and that's to drop in
on our troublesome guest.
Now, steady, steady
Go!
Hello, and good-bye.
Now, how do I control this?
Uh-oh, I guess I don't.
Got to time this just right.
Now!
She-Ra, are you all right?
Oh, I'm fine, Madame.
Now let's find
this friend of yours
before more trouble comes.
She-Ra ♪
Norwin's taught magic
for as long as I can remember.
One of his students
was Castaspella.
The other
was Shadow Weaver herself,
before she turned to evil.
She helped betray our planet
to the Horde.
I tried to stop her,
and for this,
she has never forgiven me.
She will take revenge on me,
or by turning Arden
to the ways of darkness.
We must go
to Horror Hall and rescue him,
or he will be lost
to us forever.
I believe I will keep him on
as my student,
train him in the ways
of dark magic
and, best of all,
use him to get Norwin
out of my way
forever.
Norwin, exactly what happened
between you and Shadow Weaver?
It all happened
shortly after the Horde
first arrived on Etheria.
Though we were outgunned,
there was hope,
as long as the Council of Kings
were safe.
Only a handful of us knew
the secret location
of their base
among them, my students
Castaspella and Shadow Weaver.
What we did not know
was that Shadow Weaver
had made a deal with the Horde.
They would provide her
with a power gem
that would make her powerful
beyond imagining.
In exchange, she would betray
the Council of Kings.
I discovered what was happening
too late.
I destroyed the power gem,
but not before she had taken
a third of its power.
It changed her forever.
And for that reason,
she has hunted me ever since.
There it is,
the Nameless Volcano,
and inside, Horror Hall.
It's a door made of shadows.
You don't suppose there's
anything inside there, do you?
Eh, probably.
I had to ask.
This place sure
could use a little light.
On second thought,
I liked it better dark.
Fools!
I am Nightfire.
If you would find Horror Hall,
pass me first
if you can.
Look out!
Sword to shield.
You'll have to try
harder than that.
If you insist.
She-Ra, be careful.
If one of those
force beams hits you,
you'll be frozen here forever.
They'll have to catch me first.
How are we going
to get past something
that can stop you
just by looking at you?
Actually, that gives me an idea.
Got to time this just right.
And up!
And right between.
No!
I hit myself!
There, that ought to keep it
on ice a while.
Now let's go.
I hate to keep
Shadow Weaver waiting.
Eh, do you think
she knows we're here?
If I know Shadow Weaver,
she has her spies everywhere.
She-Ra ♪
Oh, and this
is a Darkstalker.
It is hard to control,
but once you've mastered
the spell of creating,
you'll find it useful indeed.
Now, for your next lesson, the
my little spy is back.
Good, good.
Very well, then.
Be gone.
What is it?
I have a surprise
for you, Arden,
one that will tell me
just how much
you want to learn my magic.
What do you mean "how much"?
To become as I am,
you must be prepared
to give up everything
friends and other things.
Well, I don't really
have any friends
since I left Norwin.
What else could I lose?
Ah, there is much
to be sacrificed
if you wish to become powerful.
See for yourself
what became of me
when I embraced the darkness.
Are you prepared to become this?
You needn't answer now.
First comes your surprise.
Follow me.
Hey, it's Norwin!
What's he doing here?
He is your surprise, Arden,
and your test.
Let Arden go, Shadow Weaver.
He's done nothing to harm you.
It's me you want.
Yes, and now I intend
to take my revenge,
through the very boy
you came here to save.
Take it!
And you shall be as powerful
as any magician on Etheria.
Take it
and strike out at Norwin.
It's so easy.
Yes, Arden.
Her way is easy.
My way is hard.
I never promised you otherwise,
because the only things
worth having
are the things you work for,
like friendship, our friendship.
It's your decision, Arden.
I can't.
Norwin's right.
Maybe he's old-fashioned,
but at least he cares about me.
And if that's
what old-fashioned means,
well, I'll take it.
Then you have
just bought yourself
a one-way ticket
to the slave mines!
Norwin, you have all interfered
with my plans for the last time.
I will have no more!
Creatures of stone,
hearts of rock,
give my enemies
a terrible shock!
Come on, Swifty.
Oh, dearie, my.
Yes, let's.
Wait!
We have to go back.
You know, we forgot
about Norwin.
Never mind me.
Get Arden, hurry!
Oh, no, you don't.
Sword to lasso.
Got it.
Round and round you go,
and where you stop,
only I know.
Help!
Faster, Broom, faster.
No time for the lasso.
Here goes.
I think
you'll like
the view better over here.
And now, at long last,
it is time.
Time for the student to take
the place of the teacher.
Time for my revenge.
One rescue at a time, Arden.
Hop on.
Andnow!
Nice catch, Swifty.
Quick!
Shadow Weaver
has Norwin trapped.
Let's go.
No, not yet.
I think Norwin wants
to do this alone.
Admit it.
I am stronger.
I have the greater magic.
You have nothing, Shadow Weaver.
Least of all, me.
See how your dark magic shatters
before the light,
just as your lies
and your powers
will one day be destroyed.
Oh, no, it can't be.
I had you.
I allowed you to hold me
until Arden was safe.
Now face me.
No.
I'm not ready yet.
Stay back.
I command you.
No, no!
Can't looktoo bright
Of course.
I taught you that the light
is always more powerful
than the dark.
You never
understood that lesson,
but you will someday.
And that will be
the end of Shadow Weaver
and the sorceress
you could have been.
Though, I should not.
II feel sorry for you.
Now, farewell.
You feel sorry for me, eh?
Feel sorry for yourself.
We will meet again someday,
and you will regret this.
You will regret this!
My thanks to you, She-Ra.
Now we must get back
to our hidden forest
and continue Arden's lessons.
Then you'll still
have me as your student,
even though I let you down?
Let me down?
My good lad, you've made me
very, very proud of you.
You've taken
your first real step
on the road to becoming
a first-class sorcerer.
Thanks to a good
a great teacher.
Hi, there, friends, I'm Loo-Kee.
Did you see where I was hiding
in today's show?
If not, look now.
I'm hiding here.
See me?
Here I am!
In today's story,
Arden made a mistake when
he went to join Shadow Weaver,
but you can bet
he won't do that again.
We all make mistakes.
There's nothing wrong with that.
The important thing is for us
to learn from our mistakes.
That way, we won't make
the same mistake again.
Bye, now!
For the honor of love ♪
We have the power ♪
